"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending" - Maria Robinson. Today can be the day when you take the first step towards change or it can be the time when you decide to enter a path of growth and well-being.

While no one has life without difficult situations or no one can't change their past, still everyone has the ability to learn from their past and the ability resolve current challenges in life.
